Every single game doesn't necessarily have/need to be Open World, but I would like to see MORE open world games because there's very few of them, But at the same time I wouldn't want every game to be open world and for me it would depend on the Game Genre.
For instance, I simply hate open world racing games. The only reason I didn't buy Burnout Paradise is b/c it was Open World... I played the demo and I still didn't like it because of the Open World factor... I don't want to dri...
Realism isn't something that just anybody can appreciate and get used to.
Even though games like Gran Turismo are very realistic and may not be as fast paced as or as "fun" as Arcade racer, I still get an exhilarating rush everytime I play GT and I only get that feeling when played GT, nothing else. Killzone 2 to me relates in the same way because some people will be able to adapt to the realism and still have fun with it, and some people just won't.
KZ2 is...
I'm definantly not taking EDGE's review score seriously. If they gave R2 a 6, I wasn't expecting KZ2's score to be that much more significantly higher from them.
EDGE's review score isn't going to deter me from buying KZ2 because I've been waiting 3-4 Years for this Epic masterpiece and nothing is standing in my way from owning this game.
Whenever a reviewer like EDGE gives a game a lower than average score out of a sea of high 8's, 9's, and 10's like KZ2, it really ...
Honestly I don't think that either 360 fans or PS3 fans should care about EDGE because I know I don't. Edge has always been infamous for giving games that have gotten good review scores like Resistance 2, Fallout 3, Mass Effect, and now Killzone 2 lower than average review scores.
They also gave Halo Wars a 7/10 and for some reason that's being overlooked, but I bet that the 7/10 from Edge will be the lowest score that Halo Wars gets and it'll get high 8's, and 9's from other maj...
I could care less about Edge's Killzone 2 review score because Edge has always been infamous for giving big games lower than average review scores like Mass Effect- 7/10, Fallout 3- 7/10 Resistance 2- 6/10, etc...
Even Eurogamer gave KZ2 a 9, and that was surprising b/c I was expecting at least an 8 for them.
But, it's too late Edge, the majority of Killzone 2 reviews have already spoken and it's a AAA game. ;)
Whenever he's talking about bad A.I. and Framerate issues, he's talking about the first Killzone game, not Killzone 2.
After looking at the front cover of the magazine, it looks like this is a Pic. of Kratos on the Back of Gaia the Titan and she is climbing Mt. Olympus while Kratos is on her back, and you can see her hand reaching out like she's climbing. If you remember how God of War 2 ended, then you'll see.
I don't know what I'm looking forward too more, God of War 3 or a Team ICO game announcement... Since Team ICO hasn't said anything for years, I guess I'll have to go with GOW3 is my next ...
I wish EA would just confirm that ME2 is coming to the PS3 or it's not coming to the PS3.
Since Mass Effect 2 isn't coming until 2010, it does really make me think that there will be a PS3 version because it will give Bioware/EA plenty of time to complete a PS3 version if it's already been considered.
With EA owning Bioware now, I really don't see how ME2 wont come to the PS3 day and date with the 360 version unless M$ pays for timed exclusivity. Since ME2 is suppose...
"Why should we adjust for one game out of a whole genre? Why alienate the FPS crowd?"
Well, this is how I feel about it.
When it comes to Killzone 2 and "adapting" to a new game, to me it's no different than adapting to the different type of gameplay such as a Simulation Racer such as Gran Turismo, and a more Arcade type of racer like Burnout.
After playing a bunch of Arcade racers, I have to adjust my gameplay style for a racer like ...
"when GTA IV went for realism it was a bad thing, now killzone2 does it, its a good thing? im so lost "
My problem with GTA4 wasn't so much the realism, for me it was the lack of content in the game and stuff to do. San Andreas had just SOOOO much more things to do in the game, and I played San Andreas for about 2 years before I put it down... but GTA4 just got really repetitive pretty quick for me Because San Andreas had so much variety, the gameplay didn't get as repe...
@ Hercules,
Sorry, but I have to disagree with you (and I didn't press the disagree button)
The reason why I'm excited for Killzone 2 has NOTHING to do with graphics at all. Killzone 2 to me is probably one of the most Cinematic shooters I've ever seen in my life, and I truly beleive the game REALLY captures what the developers were talking about, that "Theater of War."
One other thing that I like about Killzone 2 is the amount of things going ...
Just because the guy that wrote this didn't come out satisfied as he thought doesn't mean KZ2 is being overhyped, it's really all a matter of opinion.
Personally I think that anyone that hasn't played KZ2 should at least play KZ1. Yes, KZ1 was technically flawed, but at least that way you would get used to the feel of the game. I've had KZ1 for over a year now, so I'm used to the slower pace and feel of the game, so I know what to expect from KZ2 in terms of gameplay.
"With Yakuza 3 & RE5 is it possible that the PS3 may actually outsell the wii for a couple of weeks "
Also, in addition to the games you listed with the FF VII Advent Children PS3 bundles in April, I have no doubt the PS3 is going to be selling some huge numbers in Japan when those bundles come out.
Good point Panther, I never really thought about that before, but it's possible. The majority of the Wii's audience (kids) depend on their parents to buy games for them, and with money being more tight, then I'm sure parents aren't going to be buying games as many Wii games (if any at all).
If Wii sales slow down a lot in the U.S., I wouldn't be surprised if a Wii price cut comes and the price cut should spark up sales again. For what the Wii does and it's capabilities, personall...
I think that by that time frame (2017) Digital Distribution will be pretty main stream and the sales of a Digital Copy "might" outsell a Physical copy by then, but I think that there should always be some kind physical medium for movies and that's what I just prefer for movies and games.
Digital Distribution or VOD isn't going to "kill" Blu-ray and I'm pretty sure they will be able to co-exist.
After Blu-ray, I really don't see a new physical fo...
Killzone 2 has already gone gold for disc production, and Guerrilla is already done with it, so there will be no going back to fix things, but a demo isn't the final build, so this glitch may or may not be in the Final build that we'll get at retail.
It's not that unusual for a demo to have a glitch because demos are the final builds. Considering that the guy actually had to go out of this way just to find a glitch, this just goes to show how polished Killzone 2 is, and this is just the demo.
Well, since nobody else has mentioned it, I guess I will:
I guess Hiphopgamer was RIGHT when he said that Killzone 2 had over 1 million pre-orders on his latest show, and when he said it hardly anybody believed him, but I guess it just goes to show that he know things that go on behind the scenes.
I really didn't like the Battlefield Bad Company demo, so I didn't pick up the game.
Sometimes I think the Enemy A.I. in that game was like superhuman or something because there was tons of times I was under fire and didn't know where the heck the enemy was and enemies could shoot you from like a mile away. I liked the destructibility in the game, but that's about it. After KZ2, it's going to take a lot for me to buy a 3rd party multi-platform shooter.
EA needs to ma...
It's just the Demo for crying out loud! It's not that unusual for a Demo to have a glitch, and obviously the Demo was an Old build.
If there was a Glitch in the Final version Killzone 2 that could prevent Level Progression, I think it would have been brought up in Reviews.
